As the managing agent for the flat I rented, whenever there was a problem (eg the boiler broke over Christmas) it was attended to immediately. The staff were always polite and attentive. Granted it did take over a day for them to respond to my email enquiry, but when they called back a viewing was booked immediately and the whole process was handled very professionally. I believe that the area is very desirable, and with that in mind I offered the asking price which got me the flat. If you are not willing to do this then this is the wrong area for you to be looking for a place to live - you are right, you should be looking in other less trendy areas. You strike me as someone who is angry you didn't get the flat you wanted and are now taking it out on the agent (more often than not the right thing to do, but in this case you are wrong)
With regard to buying a flat, BlakeStanley was the third agent I had offered through to buy a flat in the area - I was gazumped the first two times I offered on two places through two other agents. With BlakeStanley, they were honest and straightforward, and I now live in the flat I bought on Broadway Market.
